Self Diagnosis

"I took a stimulant and fell asleep immediately. Does this confirm my ADHD?"

by Larry Silver, M.D.


ADHD is a serious medical disorder. It should be diagnosed and treated by a physician who knows of this disorder. There are many reasons why an adult, especially one with the multiple problems you describe about yourself, might respond by becoming calm and relaxed. See a professional and address your problem more seriously.
